Would it be correct to translate "resource exhaustion" as "denial of service attack"?

Question

linux

I am currently translating CiS Distribution Independent Linux Bencmark. I often come across this phrase. The question is in the title.

Answer 1

This translates to "expenditure" or "exhaustion" of resources.

Answer 2

It is possible, this is a generally accepted subspecies of DoS. But you need the right context, of course.

Answer 3

No, it's wrong. Correctly translated "resource exhaustion", "denial of service" is a more general class of attacks.

Answer 4

No. It translates as "resource exhaustion". Yes, this is part of the denial of service, but only part of it.
